Not to mention trump is looking for a way out of this where he can still claim a win. Opening the government and getting people their paychecks is important but denying him the claim of a win is perhaps the most important thing of all. It will be a humiliating defeat for him, but that humiliation will go a long way in preventing this from happening again. It has to end here. This is the hill to die on if need be.

THIS is how you respond to a bully; no compromise, no surrender. One can only hope that this accelerates the impending myocardial infarction or stroke. Have another Big Mac, Donnie; the Diet Coke evens it all out.

Scroll down. You’ll see the breakdown.

39 Big Macs, 55 Quarter Pounders, 82 Wendy’s burgers, 11 Burger King Whoppers, four Domino’s pizzas, and more, $2911.

To be fair, Toadglans would reheat the fast food feast but he doesn’t like the microwave spying on him.

I know, I know, the self-anointed “professional at technology” couldn’t operate a microwave oven even if his life depended on it. Indeed, ever since witnessing his prowess with an umbrella I’ve wondered: What would happen if you gave him a can and a can opener? Better yet, a P-38?

Months earlier I was referring to McD’s as heart attack burgers but not sure it was funny to others.

Remember, T rumpp does have a plan to end the shutdown. He just won’t share that with anyone because he’s so specially able to lead this country - over a cliff.

Wish I could say this was making me hungry but it only makes me sick. Besides I just ate a piece or two of chocolate cake I made with only the best ingredients. Yum!

Dummkopfdämmerung…

Or perhaps you might prefer Idiotendämmerung?

The Dems should clearly state that they don’t negotiate with terrorists; especially a domestic one who’s endangering the entire nation.

Every time I see this layout of food, I’m thinking “how long have these burgers and fries been sitting out?” Couldn’t have tasted very good by the time they were consumed - hopefully none of the players get sick from eating aged, room temperature food.

Yum. Uninspected fast food. I’m sure it will be fine.

It’s Borowitz, but it could just as easily be true.

Hey Dump Womp Womp that is all…

Only if they get to order it themselves. If Spankee is choosing, it’s gonna be subpar.
